Chapter 265 Wang Dong
"You mean Wang Dong is still undergoing the inner court assessment?"
Huo Yuhao asked in surprise.
"That's right, Wang Dong happened to run into a Soul Hunting Operation after he signed up."
"Because we needed to test how long it would take for the students' soul ring absorption limit to increase after undergoing the Body Tempering Method, the academy organized a lot of people to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Wang Dong also went to the academy to ask for help and was responsible for protecting the theoretical researchers with lower combat power. Oh, right, Teacher Wang Yan also went along."
"I see."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.
No wonder I didn't see Wang Dong in either the inner or outer courtyards; it turns out he's no longer at Shrek Academy.
After chatting with Xiao Xiao for a while, Huo Yuhao returned to his own laboratory in the Soul Guidance Department, took out some ice spring water, soaked in it, and began to cultivate.
Under the tempering effect of the residual coldness of the extremely cold spring water, Huo Yuhao's adaptability to extreme ice rapidly improved. In less than an hour, the bottleneck of his soul power began to loosen. Another half hour passed, and finally, after the residual coldness of the cold spring water was completely exhausted, he pushed his soul power to level forty-eight.
After stabilizing his soul power, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the cold spring, which had been imbued with the marrow of ten thousand years of ice, was no longer as cold as before, but only had a refreshing coolness like that of mountain spring water.
However, Huo Yuhao was not very satisfied with the results.
The cold spring, born from the ultimate ice-attribute treasure, the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, should have such an effect, even though it is a pool of water without a source.
Perhaps other ice-attribute soul masters could break through several realms using this method, but its effect on Huo Yuhao is very limited.
Could it be that I should try to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow?
After all, Huo Yuhao had gone through an extreme event of turning adversity into fortune before he was able to break through to the Soul King level. Without some drastic measures, Huo Yuhao might not have been able to break through to the Soul King level in time.
Moreover, after breaking through, he still needs to go on a soul hunt to obtain his fifth soul ring, so Huo Yuhao's time is indeed limited.
However, spirit-attribute spirit beasts are extremely rare, and finding a suitable one depends on luck.
This makes the already limited time even more urgent.
It wasn't that Huo Yuhao cared about winning or losing the Soul Master Competition, but rather that the Soul Master Competition was indeed a good opportunity, an opportunity to eliminate evil Soul Masters.
Huo Yuhao could not allow the Holy Spirit Cult to run rampant in the Soul Master Competition. The Soul Master Competition was the best opportunity to openly and fairly wipe out the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult.
If those evil soul masters are allowed to grow unchecked, they might grow faster than Huo Yuhao himself when war comes.
After identifying his target, Huo Yuhao took out a box made of Ice Extreme God Crystal from his storage soul tool, carefully touched the core magic array covering the box, and slowly opened it.
A piece of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow lay quietly inside. As the box sealing the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow was opened, the temperature in the entire room dropped by tens of degrees, and frost began to condense on the surrounding walls.
This is a piece of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow that has been unsealed by the Snow Emperor herself. It was placed in a box made of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal long ago, so that it could be used at any time without anyone discovering any other information.
However, Huo Yuhao had always believed that he could break through to the Soul King level on his own, but now he has accepted his fate and decided to use this pure power.
Huo Yuhao carefully picked up the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, using its internal extreme cold power to erode his body and improve his extreme ice adaptability, while using the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul to process the extreme cold power that had invaded his body and transform it into pure soul power.
…………
"Finally done."
Tang San gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked tenderly at the girl lying in the ice coffin.
Years have passed, but the girl in the ice coffin remains unchanged, as if her life force has been frozen by the ice coffin.
"With the Asura's origin removed and his soul fully replenished... Xiao Qi's congenital illness has finally been completely cured. Now that's the case, Xiao Qi should wake up."
Thinking of this, Tang San put away the ice coffin and moved the girl to the bed next to him.
As the extreme cold faded, a trace of color gradually returned to the girl's pale face, and her chest rose and fell occasionally.
"Will it take some time for it to recover?"
Seeing this, Tang San decided not to interfere any further and let her wake up on her own, simply placing a piece of jade containing life force in the girl's palm.
Suddenly, Tang San slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul is still outside. We need to find a chance to retrieve it, otherwise Xiao Qi will cause trouble again if she wakes up and doesn't find the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul."
Thinking of this, Tang San silently closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the Sea God's Mark.
……
"Ji Bochang, sixteen years old, martial soul Vajra Cudgel, soul power level 41, physical fitness level 48 before absorbing soul ring, fourth soul ring age 8000 years."
Wang Yan excitedly recorded the information.
"8000 years! If it were a stronger Beast Soul Master, they might even be able to try to absorb a fourth Soul Ring that is 9000 years old."
"With the help of secret medicine, it might even be possible to try to absorb the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years."
An aged voice came: "Unless you urgently need the soul skills provided by a high-age soul ring, it's best not to use the secret medicine."
Wang Yan realized he had misspoke and quickly replied, "Yes, Elder Yu."
With a thud, Wang Dong landed from the tree, somewhat worried, and asked, "Elder Yu, will that secret medicine from Mingde Hall really not affect Huo Yuhao's subsequent absorption of soul rings?"
"You've asked this question several times already."
Old Yu looked at Wang Dong with a smile and teased, "Don't worry too much. I've already explained the principle of the secret medicine. It uses the enormous medicinal power to temporarily enhance the various attributes of a Soul Master, allowing the user to withstand Soul Rings far exceeding what they can absorb under normal circumstances, and to improve the Soul Master's quality with the help of the Soul Rings, achieving the effect of absorbing beyond one's level."
"The reason it affects subsequent absorption is that the pressure on the Soul Master and Martial Soul from absorbing an abnormally large Soul Ring is too great. Even if the Soul Master uses Soul Skills normally, their control over them will decrease significantly. When absorbing a Soul Ring next time, the pressure from the two Soul Rings will overlap, making it impossible to withstand the pressure from absorbing the Soul Ring. Therefore, reducing the absorption period of subsequent Soul Rings is the best way to deal with it."
"As for that little guy Huo Yuhao, there's no need to worry too much about this. His martial soul is a body martial soul with great potential. This kind of pressure will not only not crush Huo Yuhao, but his martial soul may even awaken a second time under the stimulation of this pressure."
Despite this, Wang Dong was still somewhat worried.
However, it shouldn't be anything serious. After all, even if Huo Yuhao hadn't reached the Soul King level by now, he would have already absorbed his fourth soul ring. The fact that no news has been heard means that Huo Yuhao is fine.
Wang Dong comforted himself in his heart.
"Alright, this batch of students has finished absorbing their spirit rings. We can go back now."
In the messy campsite, everyone orderly packed up their camping equipment and prepared to return home.
Old Yu suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, although the absorption age has increased a lot, the increase in combat power is very limited. They will have a headache if they want to absorb high-age spirit rings in the future. Even the geniuses of Shrek Academy may not be able to hunt down suitable spirit rings on their own."
Wang Yan said helplessly, "This is not something we should be worrying about. Besides, a force that can withstand high-intensity training means it has sufficient resources and will naturally have people to help it hunt souls."
As the person who followed this new forging method from beginning to end, Wang Yan was all too aware of the resources consumed by this method. In order to support these people, the price of high-grade ingredients in Shrek City increased by 15% to 30%.
Wang Dong didn't have time to listen to the two theorists' idle chatter; instead, he looked expectantly toward Shrek City.
By now, Huo Yuhao must have returned, right?
I wonder if Huo Yuhao misses her?
Are you still fiddling with those soul tools?
……
"A new type of forging method?"
Tang San silently checked the surroundings.
"I didn't expect this new training method to be so effective."
Looking at these young people who were absorbing spirit rings beyond their lifespan, Tang San sighed softly.
These people are not much stronger than I was back then, and they don't have a treasure trove like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to help them, yet their first three soul rings are of a higher age than mine.
Tang San had also paid attention to this research by Master Yu. Although it was all information that was of no use to Tang San at the moment, his research on martial souls was much better than that of his own teacher.
Furthermore, Tang Ya, the current leader of the Tang Clan, seems to be forging a different path from his Blue Silver Emperor.
What a turbulent era!
That is why such a peerless genius must be put to my use!
Tang San looked toward Shrek City.
There, a young man, wielding an ice-attribute treasure, was breaking through his cultivation level.
"Ultimate Ice... an ultimate attribute. The ultimate attribute that Fatty obtained by consuming multiple fire-attribute treasures back then, yet it was a power he was born with..."
"But the position of Ice God is in the hands of that guy Destruction... We absolutely cannot let Destruction know of his existence. Even if he is to inherit the position, he must be under my command."
……
"ah--"
After stretching, Huo Yuhao stood up, looking refreshed.
Finally... finally I've reached level 50!
As expected of an ice-attribute treasure, it helped me break through two levels of soul power and still had some left. Perhaps after absorbing the soul ring, my soul power will increase by one or two levels.
"I don't even know what time it is now."
Huo Yuhao took out a clock from his storage soul tool and glanced at his phone.
The hour hand is pointing directly downwards.
"Is it six o'clock already? Perfect time to practice the Purple Demon Eye a little longer."
Stepping out of the secret room, Huo Yuhao went to the window of the laboratory and looked eastward, but he couldn't see the sun.
"So it turns out it's 6 PM. No wonder I'm so hungry."
Huo Yuhao chuckled self-deprecatingly, unlocked the lab door, and prepared to grab something to eat at the cafeteria.
"Huo Yuhao!"
As soon as Huo Yuhao opened the door, a familiar figure rushed in front of him.
Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the pink and blue figure in front of him.
In that moment of hesitation, the two collided.
"Wang Dong? What are you doing?"
With Huo Yuhao's physical abilities, although he was caught off guard, it wasn't difficult for him to regain his balance. He reached out and put his hand on Wang Dong's shoulder, pushing him away.
Pushed away by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong said with a hint of resentment, "Really, it's been over two years, and you haven't even given me a hug?"
Upon physical contact, a faint fragrance wafted over, causing Huo Yuhao to become somewhat flustered. Composing himself, Huo Yuhao said with a serious expression, "I'm not high-ranking."
Wang Dong blushed slightly at Huo Yuhao's words, but quickly regained her composure, pouting and saying, "Who wants to...do that with you?"
Her coquettish expression made Huo Yuhao somewhat lost in thought.
"Ahem!"
A soft cough rang out, finally waking Huo Yuhao.
"Alright, enough joking around."
Huo Yuhao asked seriously, "I heard from Xiao Xiao that you've become a Soul Emperor? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true."
As Wang Dong spoke, fearing that Huo Yuhao might not believe him, he released his martial soul and showed off his soul rings, which consisted of one yellow, three purple, and two black rings.
"That's insane! I was only a Soul Master when I left, and in two years he's probably leveled up by almost twenty!"
Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue and gestured to Wang Dong to talk as they walked.
"Hmph, with my talent, what's so difficult about that?"
Wang Dong seemed to remember something and said, "I heard from Teacher Zhou that you haven't reached level 50 yet. How's it going? You've been locked up for a day, have you made any breakthroughs?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "I was lucky and successfully broke through to level 50. I was just about to go out for a meal when I opened the door and bumped into you. By the way, how long have you been waiting outside?"
"It's only been a few minutes... just since we arrived."
Wang Dong said, "I only found all the soul rings for the lower-grade students yesterday afternoon, and then rushed back to the academy. After running around with the procedures several times, I finally got them into the inner academy."
"Tsk, this is really troublesome."
Even Wang Dong couldn't escape the fate of having to go through the paperwork.
"That's right. I stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for several months for this assessment. I'm almost like a wild man now."
At this point, Wang Dong looked resentful.
If it weren't for the Soul Hunting, who would want to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, a place that is both dangerous and primitive? But this time, the academy assessment is something they can't refuse.
I should have signed up earlier; maybe the assessment would have been easier.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was heading in the wrong direction, Wang Dong quickly pulled him back.
Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Where else can we go? To the cafeteria for lunch."
"Pfft—"
Wang Dong chuckled and said, "Are you stupid? Do you still think you're a first or second-year student? You're Huo Yuhao, an inner court student."
As he spoke, Wang Dong took out a notice and handed it to Huo Yuhao: "Hey, this is your inner academy admission notice. I took it for you when I was handling the formalities."
Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the admission letter in his hand.
The acceptance letter was exquisite, with a cover depicting the azure Poseidon Lake, Poseidon Island, and the golden ancient tree standing prominently above the lake.
"Let's go eat at the inner courtyard cafeteria."
As he spoke, Wang Dong pulled Huo Yuhao's sleeve and walked towards the Sea God Lake.
Huo Yuhao passively allowed Wang Dong to lead him, and looking at Wang Dong's back, Huo Yuhao was a little confused.
When did Wang Dong become so lively?
The red glow of the setting sun shone through Wang Dong's short, blue-pink hair, revealing a dazzling golden light. The three colors of blue, pink, and gold complemented each other beautifully.
The beauty is somewhat unreal.
